I have not actually visited the grounds or the museum before but it is on my list to do and if you are in Wimbledon something you should do as well.
The new musuem opened up recently and is very interactive - you get a guided ghosted tour of the Gentleman's dressing rooms in the 1980's by John McEnroe, also you can test your tennis grip. The musuem houses the Mens & Ladies Trophies as they are not allowed to take them home when they win, instead winners names are engraved and the players take home a replica of the trophy.
The mueum is open daily except during the championships
Adults GBP7.50 or 14.50 incl tour
Children GBP 6.25 or 11.00 incl tour Leave a Comment Address: Church Road, Wimbledon SW19 5AEPhone: 0208879 5609Directions: take the 143 bus from Southfields, Wimbledon or South Wimbledon

 The Championships! by Jenniflower
People come from all over the world to see a game.
I have been fortunate enough to see the men's semi finals and the women's finals in 2004, and the mens and ladies semi finals in 2005. I have also seen a couple quarter final matches. In 2006 I saw Agassi play his last game ever at Wimbledon prior to his retirement, against Nadal. That was an emotional game! We saw 3 other matches too in 2006.
I have seen players and have to say Federer is my favourite - not only because heis half-South African (his mum), but because he is a fabulous player and is an absolute gentleman in manner and play too. Go Federer!
The atmosphere is electric, the applause thunderous and the entertainment thrilling.

Buses are run on a shuttle basis every ten minutes from Wimbledon and SouthFields Stations.Website: http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/

 Outside Centre Court by elucas
A.E.L.T.C. PO Box 98, Wimbledon, London, SW19 5AE. England.
You don’t need to include a letter.
You will receive a straightforward form which you complete and return to the same address BEFORE 15 December. Allow a margin for Christmas post – I sent it too close to the date once and it was returned.
The club will send you information which explain how the ballot works, prices, dates and what you do, and do not do. This is an outline of the details.
Tournament dates: 2008 - Monday 23 June - Sunday 6 July inclusive.
The categories of tickets available are explained, for example: Centre court:
- one pair of tickets
- two single tickets (ie the seats will not be adjacent)
- one single ticket
Successful applicants will be offered one category for one day of the event. Single or two single tickets are balloted once all the pairs have been offered.
Prices vary according to the Court and the day of the tournament. Court 2 tickets on the first Monday will be approx £27 per head, Court 1 tickets on the second Wednesday (quarter final day) will be approx £65 per head and a pair of mens’ finals match tickets on Centre will cost you in the region of £87 per head.
Wheelchair ballot – There are wheelchair spaces on Centre and No 1 Courts and there is a separate form for this ballot.
Once you have returned the form you wait – fingers crossed ! The ballot is always very over-subscribed, but you might be lucky. Address: A.E.L.T.C. PO Box 98.Wimbledon, London. SW19 5AEPhone: Ticket office 020 8971 2473Website: www.wimbledon.org

"Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum offers a glimpse of how the original medieval real tennis, has now become a multi-million dollar professional sport, played all over the world.
Open all year round, the Museum includes memorabilia from many famous players and includes a state of the art Audio/Visual Theatre showing highlights of great players in action, and views of Centre Court." Leave a Comment

It is a small but beautiful village with a busy street during the championship. Leave a Comment

This is detailed on the form, so I will just provide an outline.
You need to apply for tickets from your permanent residential address, not a business or “Care of” address. Only ONE application for tickets per address / household can be accepted.
Tickets from the public ballot are NOT transferable – they are intended for the sole use of the original applicant and, if applicable, their guest. So please don’t buy a ticket as a gift for someone.
Do not advertise tickets for sale on the internet, newspapers etc.
The A.E.L.T.C. are “very hot” on these points as you will see from the warning on the form.
If you are lucky and do get tickets, I can assure you that it is worth it. It really is an excellent event – held in lovely surroundings – and makes a great day out.

With the tournament starting in about two weeks time, it's time to think of this little pretty place. It is great, especially Wimbledon village... Leave a Comment

 Some of the bars, refreshment

If you have not heard by March please assume that your application has not been successful in the main ballot.
However, declined and returned tickets are re-balloted up to the day of play, so you may be offered tickets at a later stage.
The tickets themselves, together with a booklet about the Championship which gives directions, maps, details about parking, public transport, opening times, security, rainfall policy, plus lots of other useful information, are usually sent out in about mid-late May, quite close to the tournament.
